Effective Alcohol Education

Effective alcohol education enables people to increase their knowledge and understanding of drugs, alcohol and tobacco, and to explore attitudes and develop skills for making healthy, informed choices.

We aim to teach effective alcohol education to people from a young age. The earlier will can help instill the risks of alcohol abuse in young people, the more beneficial it will be.

Alcohol education can help to de-bunk some of the myths surrounding alcohol and bad or violent behaviour, Galahad instructors seek to return both the power and responsibility for actions to the students. This is followed up with practical and fun social-skills exercises that reveal underlying beliefs and expectancies.

During our alcohol education, students are encouraged to complete personalised calculations of units consumed on a ‘good night out’ and then discuss tips for staying safe without compromising a good time. Practical first-aid exercises give hands on experience in staying safe and helping friends. In other alcohol education lessons, the cross-cultural uses of alcohol are contrasted with the British style. By using photographs, video clips and personal story, students explore alcohol’s symbolic associations with: trust, loyalty, status, power, celebration, group affiliation, etc.
